Chapter 82 MISTRESS SINAL Mistress Sinai paced her gilded cage , a whirlwind of fury barely contained within the lavish confines of her chambers .
Two days of forced solitude felt like an eternity , each moment a freshforment in her souls descent into madness .
At this rate , she was truly going to go insane ! Home confinement was a living hell , a cruel mockery of her former freedoms .
She abborred it with every fiber of her being .
To be denied her whims was unbearable enough , but to become the butt of every whispered joke , every pitying glance from the other mistresses in Ravenshadows royal estate … it was the ulemate humiliation .
Yesterday , Mistress Gaille had come to check on her , her syrupy concern a thinly veiled insult .
Sinai could practically see the womans barely suppressed laughter behind her false smiles .
All this because of a human .
A mere boy .
Vladya had moved heaven and earth to protect the worthless creature from her wrath , even threatening to cast her into the Hole .
The Hole ! The mere thought sent a fresh wave of betrayal and anger through her veins , hot and acidic .
Had Emeriel been a girl , Sinai might have entertained the possibility that he was Daemons Soulbond .
But fate was not that cruel , was it ? It had played a different hand ; the little thing was a boy .
Thank Urai for small mercies .
All day , she had been forced to languish here , pacing the extravagant prison of her chamber , staring at her own reflection until it blurred with rage .
Her once spacious room felt suffocating , the air thick with her frustration .
Boredom gnawed at , her , a relentless beast clawing at the edges of her sanity , Emeriel will pay , she hissed , her words like venom dripping onto the pristine mirror .
He .
Will .
Pay Desperate for a distraction , she sank into a plush armchair .
Nora she called , her voice sharp as a whip .
The maid scurried forward , her head bowed .
Yes , Mistress Whats the gossip out there ? Are people still buzzing about Emeriel and his little miracle ? Noras eyes lit up with a morbid glee .
Yes , Madam ! King Daemonikai must hold the boy in great favor .
Why else would one be in the territory of a feral for three days without being torn apart ? Oh , the boy must be truly special Sinars lips twisted in disgust , and she shot the girl a disapproving glare .
The girl , oblivious to her mistresss displeasure , continued , I crave more wonders like that .
Half the town is still talking about it .
Even Grand Lord Vladya was so impressed that he- Spare me the details .
I already know what he did , Sinai interrupted , her voice laced with acid .
-moved the human prince to Blackstone , Nora finished .
Sinais eyes widened , disbelief warring with fury .
Wait , what !? Noras face paled and she clamped her mouth shut , clearly regrening her loose tongue .
Sinai surged to her feet , her eyes blazing .
Tell me , she demanded , her voice dangerously low .
Now .
Nora fumbled nervously .
Grand Lord Vladya moved Emeriel to B Blackstone , she stammered .
Hes been tending the estates gardens for days now .
Has his own chamber and everything .
Sinais vision swam , red with rage and the sting of betrayal .
1/3 17:00 Sat , Dec 28 GO Chapter 82 And , um … last night , his sister was also relocated to Blackstone .
She has her own chamber there too .
That conniving little Sinai grabbed a crystal lamp from the dressing table and hurled it at the mirror , the shattering sound a symphony of her fury .
How dare he ! How dare he , how dare hel 56 % EMERIEL Emeriel thrashed restlessly through the night , sleep refusing to take hold .
Finally , he gave up , sitting upright with a weary sigh .
His nightclothes hung loose , his normally bound chest free , his hair unbound But freedom was fleeting .
With a resigned sigh .
Emeriel re bound his chest and secured his hair before slipping from his chamber .
He padded silently to the next room , the door creaking softly as he opened it.
Aekeira slept soundly beneath the covers , her face relaxed and peaceful .
A small smile touched Emeriels lips as he leaned against the doorframe , watching her breathe .
It had been a long day , But for now , Ackeira was safe , and that was all that mattered , He e wouldnt dwell on the future , wouldnt torment himself with what tomorrow might bring .
The present moment was all mattered him and Aekeira , finally with chambers close to each other , and that was enough .
Closing the door gently , Emeriel turned away from the room .
A different destination called to him .
He wouldnt pretend this was just a midnight stroll .
A yearning he couldnt ignore drew him to the forbidden chambers .
Tugging him towards King Taemonikai .
To be near him .
To feel his presence .
The fortress was sprawling , the largest hed ever known , yet the familiar path felt short , Guards stepped aside without a word , allowing him passage .
He pushed open the small gate and door , entering the dimly lit chamber .
Moonlight spilled in through the corner window , the one Emeriel had opened during his last visit , casting long shadows across the floor , Outside the barricade , the beast lay sound asleep , its massive form a dark silhouette against the pale moonlight .
Emeriel approached , sinking down beside the creature .
Its eyes snapped open , a flash of piercing yellow in the darkness .
Emeriel held perfectly still , quelling the instinctive fear that rose within him .
He knew , deep in his soul , the beast wouldnt harm him .
Its nostrils flared , drinking in his scent .
Followed by a low , rumbling purr of contentment , Gradually , its eyelids drooped shut in relaxed bliss .
A flutter of warmth bloomed in Emeriels chest , butterflies dancing in his belly .
He couldnt help but smile .
Hello , he murmured , his voice barely a whisper .
The beast rumbled softly in response , a massive paw lifting to gently graze Emeriels cheek .
The touch was featherlight , as if the creature understood that pressing any harder would break the skin .
I never properly thanked you , did I ? Emeriels voice was soft , laced with a touch of wonder .
Im sorry for that , your majesty .
Thank you for saving me from the court .
Id likely be dead if not for you .
Your court is … formidable .
All those grand lords , each a force to be reckoned with A low groan rumbled from the beast , its eyes slowly opening and closing .
It seemed to savor the sound of Emeriels voice , the melodic cadence soothing its restless spirit .
Ive lived my whole life as a boy , Emeriel continued , his words quiet confession .
But the longing to be a girl … it burns inside me .

Its impossible , though .
Never was , never will be .
I dont even know if Id know how to be one anymore .
He sighed , a wistful sound .

Propping his head on his hand , he continued , It started with my parents , trying to protect me in a way they couldnt protect my older sister .
It was easier to stay safe in the human kingdom .
As a prince , some lords looked at me strangely , but none dared act on it .
But here … His voice trailed off , lost in the depths of the beasts golden eyes .
Its harder here .
I suppose , in a way , serving you has made it easier .
Slave masters are careful not to cross me , for fear of Lord Vladyas wrath .
And after what happened in court … they do not look at me the same way anymore .
Exhaustion crept over Emeriel and he shifted closer , tucking himself into the crook of the beasts arm .
Massive limbs curled around him , drawing him close , as the beast rumbled with pleasure .
The tension seeped from his body , and sleep claimed him .
